Pumpkin Spice Coffee Cake

September 24, 2013

Ok, I officially can’t get enough of pumpkin recipes. In fact, I may or may not be an addict around fall time. So when I found out that it was Julie @ This Gal Cooks birthday today AND she was throwing a Pumpkin Bash I was all in!

Today I am sharing with you a fun fall treat. Mike and I like to have the occasional sweet, and our sweet of choice is Delicious Coffee Cake. So I thought since its fall why not turn this already awesome Coffee Cake recipe into a Pumpkin Spice Coffee Cake. Sounds delicious, I know. Believe me it is! The best part of this Coffee Cake is that the pumpkin puree makes the cake super moist and light. Then add the crunchy sweet pecan topping and it is just another dimension of yumminess to the dish. All you need is a cup of coffee with this cake and it will be your favorite morning yet!

Next add 3/4 cup of vegetable oil, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of pumpkin spice seasoning. Mix together until combined.

Remove 1 1/2 cup of mixture and add to a small bowl, this is for your topping. Next add 1 cup of finely chopped pecans {I put mine in a small food processor} and add 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. Stir topping and set aside.

Thanks Cindy, it was delicious. Totally need to make this one again. I had the perfect subtle amount of pumpkin and awesome in the morning with a cup of coffee. In bliss! Thanks for sharing, headed to go check out the other sweet treats for Julies bday!

OMG! I love your recipe and I am definitely going to make this for my family this year. By the way, my daughters name is Krista also. Thanks for sharing and I will check out your other treats on your blog.

Awesome! I barely know anyone with that name, yeah for Krista’s! hehe… Thanks for stopping by and your sweet comments. Hope you and the fam like this coffee cake, after posting it this morning I am craving it again. Probably going to make it again this week.

haha… you crack me up. When I first read that I thought of the victoria secret commercials when they say. “Hello Gorgeous!” haha.. Glad you can envision having this for breakfast, not go make it and make that vision and reality! Thanks for the pin chica!

Oh… I could barely wait for them to come out of the oven. My husband always makes fun of me because whenever I’m baking and it take the food out of the oven I have to it asap. He always tells me to wait till it cools down, I just have no self control. hehe.

Oh girl it is! I could straight up just it that but I have a love affair with pumpkins so I need the cake… hehe. Hope you had a wonderful birthday and that your man spoiled you. Thanks for all the social media love today sweet friend.

Krista, I love how easy these are to put together. I always try to have some pumpkin treats out when I’m hosting Thanksgiving…and this is going to be on my menu/list. Every one will go crazy over these! Pinning!

Hey Krista! This recipe looks and sounds fabulous! I’m so glad you shared it at The PINcentive Blog Hop! In fact, you were chosen a winner! CONGRATS! We’d love to have you co-host our next hop and choose our winner! Your post will also be featured this week and it will be pinned a minimum of 31 times! Please contact me to discuss further. I look forward to hearing from you :o)

Drake who? I need some Krista Coffee Cakes. I love the addition of pumpkin and I can’t wait to have a whole pan of these with a pot of coffee. I had to share your post on my, “Whacchoo Bloggin’ Bout” section. So good. I hope mine come out as moist as the ones you baked up.http://www.meatandpaprika.com/2013/09/whacchoo-bloggin-bout-3/

haha… Awesome Justin! So glad to hear it. The pumpkin in these is amazing and definitely my husbands new favorite breakfast treat. Thanks for the feature and I hope yours turn out just as moist as mine did!

Oh Ashley, it definitely is. I haven’t made this coffee cake with anything but glass before, but I’m sure you could make it with a dark non-stick pan if you’d like. I would just bake it for a shorter amount of time and keep an eye on it. {metal heats up quicker than glass} Let me know how it turns out!

Hey Krista! This looks so homey and comforting – can’t wait to try it! I’m bringing it in today for my coworkers at Starbucks Thinking a dash of instant espresso may make this an homage to our Pumpkin spice latte? Oh yes

It sure it! I actually just made another one today! Ok… I might be a little addicted. hehe… but fall is in the air. I bet your family loves it when thanksgiving rolls around so they can have that cake!

Thank you for this post – I was craving pumpkin coffee cake but wasn’t sure if it existed! I loved this recipe! The only thing I would have tweaked was to have less flour in the topping, because it felt a little dry. Still delicious though, and just what I was looking for. Thanks!

Sara you can totally make the topping with 1 cup of the mixture from the batter instead of the 1 1/2 cups. My family and I are just addicted to topping so we add 1 1/2 cups which does add more flour on top. So glad to hear that you liked it! Yeah for pumpkin coffee cake! Thanks for stopping by and letting me know the verdict! I appreciate it.

Krista, I just made your pumpkin coffee cake recipe. It’s pretty much AMAZING! Great job. I made it with walnuts instead of pecans as I didn’t have any pecans on hand. LOVE this recipe! I’m pinning this to make every fall now. Have a wonderful day! ~ Jamie

haha… thanks Jamie! Yah, I’ve tried it with walnuts, pecans, and hazelnuts. They were all good, I just like the pecans the best because there not as salty. So glad you liked it and have found your new fall treat! Thanks for the pin.

Hey Gabby, you could try almonds I’m just not sure how the texture would come out. I would try walnuts before I try almonds. Hope you love it girl, your comment just reminded me I need to make it again.. yummy!

I actually just bought a small oven (they don’t come with apartments here in Thailand ;), and I’m definitely trying this. Been looking for a good pumpkin cake recipe and this looks amazing – easy too Thanks!

[…] Pumpkin Spice Coffee Cake – Pumpkin is in full swing and is being stuffed into everything, especially my face. I love it. Coffee cake is great on it’s own but Krista from, “Joyful Healthy Eats” is spreading joy all around the internet with this pumpkin version of the delicious snack cake. If Garnet doesn’t pack this in my lunch box tomorrow, there’s gonna be problems. […]
